PS Move Controllers, FreePie Bridge and VRidge

This guide will help you set up your PS Move Controllers, FreePie Bridge, and VRidge to work together. It will be mostly in text, otherwise it would get pretty long. If you prefer video guide (it is highly recommend to watch it) then below you can find YouTube Video with screenshots of hardware setup (credit goes to Daley Tech).

First of all download latest versions of programs listed below (AutoHotkey is optional):

4. Open Folder with PS Move Service and run "SteamVR_InitialSetupWin64" then in the window that just poped up navigate to Steam folder (by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) and click OK. Once you've done that run 2 other files which are next to the previous one "SteamVR_ReinstallDriverWin64" "SteamVR_SetDriverVersWin64" and just follow the instructions.

5. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config and open steamvr.vrsettings file in notepad and make sure you have following lines, if not then add them manually.

2. Run PSMoveConfigTool.exe and SteamVR should automatically launch, if not then launch it

3. Click on SteamVR in the SteamVR window and Run Room Setup

4. Choose Standing Only, next and Calibrate Center (headset has to be on the same spot as it was before on the CalibrationMat)

5. Type the distance between floor and CalibrateMat and click Calibrate Floor and done

6. Click Tracker Settings in PSMoveConfigTool window, Compute Tracker Poses and scroll down to zoom out a bit and see your headset in the middle of the box and click Looks Good

7. You should be able to see all of your controllers on the screen and then click Looks Good (make sure Magenta controller is lying down)

8. Click Use Calibration Mat and move Magenta Controller upright to position 1, 2 and 3, after number 3 position it perfectly on the HMD Line, then position 4 and 5 (yellow controller should be facing square)

9. You should be able to see your controller now, if not then restart your PC and do the Tracker Poses calibration again

AutoHotkey (Optional)

This will start all the services with single button push so you don't have to launch everything manually

1. Install AutoHotkey

2. Right click on the Desktop, go to New and then AutoHotkey Script

3. Right click on the newly created file and select Edit Script

4. Copy-paste the script below, but remember to change paths that will match the locations of files on your PC

Hi, first thank you for that great tutorial! I set up everything following the video (4 cams, 3 controllers) and it is working fine in the move config tool. I take the headset and move around with the controllers and the headset and everything is fine and has the right relations in the test. Then I go through the Steam roomscale setup and it is working quite fine, too. But then, when I start the VR the trouble begins. As soon as I start moving, the controllers move to another direction than my head. I can't see them anymore or they are in weired places. Any suggestions? Can't wait to buy Fallout 4 but want to have it running correct before... Regards, Thomas
